(IT support) I actually don't know where that random setting in your application is, I'm just really fast and good at guessing from doing it a million times in applications I've never heard of before.

Similar to that, just because someone works in IT, doesn't mean they can fix your computer problem. I've worked with a lot of developers who were great coders but couldn't resolve networking or random OS issues.

I'm a developer. Most of the time when I contact IT it's because they broke something I rely on, like our vCenter appliance or network communications between some Linux appliances with static IPs.

Oh yes. I support a lot of developers, and being a good programmer is not the same as understanding networking in a corporate environment or even knowing anything about printers. That's why I'm needed ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
